The article reflects on the interconnected experiences of Jewish communities in Israel, the United States, and Australia, highlighting how recent events have exposed both unique and shared vulnerabilities. The author describes the aftermath of the October 7 attacks and a violent incident at Bondi Beach, noting how these tragedies shattered illusions of safety and deepened the sense of a global Jewish peoplehood. While Israelis face existential threats openly, Jews in the Diaspora increasingly fear public expressions of their identity, revealing a gap in understanding between communities. The piece argues that antisemitism, when left unchallenged, escalates from rhetoric to violence, and that silence or inaction from leaders enables hatred to grow. Ultimately, the author calls for a renewed sense of shared responsibility and resilience among Jews worldwide, emphasizing that their collective fate and hope are bound together across borders and generations.
